fishmanmike01 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Arrived home from thanksgiving in Bend to find something odd looking on the head of my naso. Help with an ID would be appreciated. Bacterial infection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Im no expert on fish, but my tangs frequently have little breakouts like that...I think part of it has to do with corals in my tank. For example, my Hippo tang frequently has patches of white in different spots...but he sleeps inside colonies of montipora, so I think it my irritate his skin...errr scales.

Anytime I put my hands in the tank this guy turns super blotchy and hides behind a return. This however is different. It's clearly like cysts or some sort of external thing going on. Almost looks like a callous growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil&Fin Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I know this isn't timely enough to help your current situation, but I thought I'd mention that John has arranged for Dr Jim Morgan-Miller, a recognized speaker in fish diseases from the Hatfield Marine Center, to come to our January club meeting. Should be interesting. More details to come on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
